I was born in 65 and I learned to love these movies and Basil Rathbone, Tarzan, and Bogie and Bacall and so many others because up until the about late 80s early 90s we had 2 independent stations in St. Louis, and every Saturday and Sunday they showed these movies and so many more. They were the reason we got great shows at night new shows like Hercules and Xena and more. Late night until they went off the air old movies. Star Trac and Hogan's Heroes, Brady Bunch and so much. Cable wasn't a thing yet and I'm glad. If not for these stations I would never have been exposed to all these classics. So don't assume someone's age just because they got to watch and love these movies, these stations are also the reason I learned to love the old black and white B SoFi movies. Do you understand how much harder it was to make all these movies, no CGI all with shadows and even making your brain work trying to guess what would come next. Just watch Alfred Hitchcock movies and see the brain twisters. My daughter is 31 and love's these movies because of watching them with me. This is when we had awesome makeup artist. Here's the other thing I was already a anime junkie and that's when they were much harder to get so I would find those classics as well. Also did you know the first two big anima shows were Speed Racer, and the live action anime Ultra Man. Then the live action anime shows like Godzilla and the rest. So I find your comment not only condescending but rude as well. Don't comment on something without having all the facts. I hate that and always have. There is no reason to be rude, crude, and socially unacceptable.
Although I am from India, I really cherish seeing old movies especially of the kind of Sherlock Holmes, Charlie Chan , Mr Wong etc. Fabulous acting and direction and not to forget the script.
Now these are the type of movies I could watch for hours and hours. Charlie Chan, his movies may be old and in black and white but they are fantastically the most wonderful type of movies to watch. I used to watch them all the time on television with my grandfather back in the day, like between 7 and 13 years old. Why don't they play the good stuff like this on television anymore, I'm being serious. I would love to see them do a Charlie Chan movie marathon on regular television, if that would happen that would be wonderful but I doubt it
Even if the person he is based on actually doesn't resemble Charlie Chan in the slightest. Charlie Chan is soft spoken, obese, and isn't involved in much action (even if he does fire and draw his service pistols a few times), and works almost exclusively with homicide. Chang Apana was very gaunt, quick tempered, not formally educated (he was illiterate), often had to scuffle and fight with suspects who frequently did not want to go down without a fight, and worked in what we would call the Vice Squad (he dealt principally with drugs, drug addicts, and drug dealers). This is not to say that Apana did not work on a few homicide cases, there were some very prominent cases where he was part of the team, or that Apana was not good at what he did. He was a remarkably courageous and tenacious in his job, with some really interesting stories that happened, which is what inspired Earl Biggers to be inspired by him.
Probably my favorite Charlie Chan film. I have seen it several times. I enjoy films that have to do with ancient Egypt. I have enjoyed all of the Charlie Chan films.
Audiences today do not know the delight of a movie experience. They would show a cartoon, a short movie, a sing-along where everyone would follow the bouncing ball, and finally the full length feature film. It took up the whole joyful afternoon.
These films are way better than Today' bunk. Very creative and clever writing. Loved watching all these characters play out their roles. I hope the Black chauffeur eventually finds fortune following Charlie ( as hinted ). He was such comic relief. Thank you for posting ! Enjoyable movie.
I cannot say enough about these charlie chan movies iwatched them on tv when i was younger and my father watched them in the movie theater when he was younger, charlie chan just keeps getting passed down from generation to generation.
I had an ad-blocker installed on my PC years ago. Problem solved. **And if they find a way to side-step THAT, I'll turn off the Internet altogether and stick to watching DVD's.
@@leelarson107 my issue is tinnitus. I put on old movies at low volume to help me dose off. Have to use ear pods to not bother wife. Just as I’m m happily transferring to sleep mode I get somebody screaming at me about something I just can’t live without. At 80 years I’ve already lived without a lot of stuff - including sleep.

@17:00, I love how the wench speaks Egyptian with a southern drawl! @40:21, when Charlie speaks about reading only after pages are cut~ in the old days, when you bought a book, you had to cut the pages open before you could read it. I still come across used books where the previous owner failed to read it through, and I have to cut thru the pages.

Charlie toured the world, solving for some of the most vexatious mysteries of criminality imaginable. Now he is in the ultimate "Land of Mystery" solving for yet-another otherwise uncrackable, criminal nut! With finest of oriental aplomb and style but no flash, Charlie proceeds with number one son (and later number two) into detecting what baffles other, lesser mere wannabes of such detection. It might be noted that, at the time of this detecting adventure, 1935, H.M. Fouad, King of Egypt was occupying the throne. We are sure that His Majesty's agents were quite aware of Charlie's presence in Egypt and, were delighted by being so-graced, this as later having been reported by no less than H. E., Sir Hassanein Pasha, KCVO, MBE, himself.

Just saw Castle in the Desert. Great movie!! I wish they made more Charlie Chan movies. I liked Charlie Chan at the Race Track and Charlie Chan in Honolulu. Thanks for shoeing
There have been a few made over the years staring different actors. However, they were not the actors that Warner Oland was or even close. I would like to see new movies made provided they could find an actor close to Warner’s ability. I have been watching these movies off & on since I was 9 years old. And that was a very long time ago. 😁
I have been enjoying a number of neglected favorites, including the Warner Oland films, and the Dead End Kids/East Side Kids/Bowery Boys films. There’s a lot of great public domain material readily available that’s actually pretty good, and it is arguably BETTER than Hollywood’s ridiculous output today. Charmed, I’m sure.
Since Rita Cansino (Hayworth) was born in 1918, and this movie made in 1935, that would make her 17 years old when she made this movie. I believe she started acting at the age of 16. She appeared in 61 films in 37 years, with an ending impressive net worth of 10 million(probably about 100 million or more in today's money. Quite the beauty.
Interesting info. She was certainly a sex symbol of the time. Didn't know she was underage when she started, but not surprising with all that has been exposed now about Hollywood.
chicagotribune.com November 14 1989 by Carol Kleiman from Book- If This is Happiness: A Biography of Rita Hayworth by Barbara Leaming - The real horror of her life happened in her childhood, when Leaming alleges, Hayworth was abused physically and sexually by her father. Leaming asserts that Hayworth confided that secret to Orson Wells. -IMO- IF; this is true , she was highly sexualized by her father starting at about or before age 12, when her mother left the family and Rita traveled the vaudeville circuit and nightclubs with her father. -- There is no money 💰 in the world that could buy back “ her innocence and childhood. Rita Hayworth quote- azquotes.com “ All I wanted was just what everybody else wants, you know, to be loved,” . “ “ Dancing in Tijuana when I was 13- that was my ‘summer camp’. How else do you think I could keep up with Fred Astaire when I was 19?
The shoot started on 1st April, 1935 and wrapped on 21st April, 1935. It was released in the States on 21st June, 1935. Rita was born on October 17th, 1918. So she was actually 16 in 1935. She wouldn't turn 17 till October 17th, 1935.
People might not recognize the Rita Cansino.... who later took her mother's maiden name and became Rita Hayworth. Pat Paterson was for 44 years the wife of Charles Boyer. Thomas Beck played supporting opposite many famous stars. And everyone who might watch this remembers Stepin Fetchit. He was considered the first Black successful actor in Hollywood. When he died he was worth about the same as Rita Hayworth was. Not bad.
Except for the fact that he was made to look like a simpleton. He was actually a very articulate man. It’s a shame that this is the only role he could play. Uncomfortable to watch.
@@wildwalker44 c'mon man. Identity politics is every bit as stereotypical. Everyone in the movie was stereotyped including the brilliant Chan. Steppin made good money and no thinking person would deride him for playing that role.
Have been to Egypt and traveled down the Nile from Cairo to the new dam. The ruins, pyramids and other ancient structures were magnificent. Although the Nile was disappointingly full of trash. The new dam was a wonder and the guide was extremely proud of it, understandably.
I've always seen Sidney Toller and I like him. I'm just now getting into you know, Warner Orland one thing I do know. He started off to Charley chance series. Because Charlie Chan started in the 30s city. Toller didn't come in until actually at wartime in the 1940s. So how many years has this series been going on? And when did number 1 number 2 number 3 and the daughter? Those are the only ones I've seen as Charlie chance kids has any other people been there and last but not least, when did the black guy come and I keep forgetting his name? You know you'd be the show for an all that inside. Kick for the number 1 number 2 in number 3 sons.
Fox Film Corporation merged with Twentieth Century Pictures in the Spring of 1935. The film was shot in April. So it has the copyright of Fox Film Corporation. That means it was probably made just a few weeks before the merger. Winfield Sheehan was Rita's mentor at Fox and the one who discovered her dancing with her father at Aqua Caliente in Tijuana. He was eased out by Daryl Zanuck, the new boss. Then Zanuck began getting rid of starlets like Rita who had been promoted for success by Sheehan. So she had to start all over again, looking for any work she could find and hoping to get a contract with another studio.
Of all the Chan entries,I think this one comes closest to a Universal style horror film,for obvious reasons, Mummy. Some creepy moments and atmosphere.
It is interesting that as this film was being made the contents of King Tut's in-tact tomb was still being processed and preserved at the Cairo museum.
BTW, as we sailed down the Nile, I saw cattle and other animals near the water and asked about the fact that Americans were under the impression that the Nile was full of crocodiles. I was informed by our guides that the Nile no longer had them in the river and they were now on the other side of the dam so the farm animals were now not in danger of being eaten. One of the other sights we were privileged to see was a replica of the river boat that was used in the movie "Death on the Nile".
@@Bersztipflag Oland claimed he had some mongolian ancestry, thogh that was never supported; likely some Hollywood gimmick. Without the "chinese" moustache and make up Oland looks totally caucasian IMAO. He achieved a very good impersonation.
Great old Charlie Chan movie,!! As far as stereotypes go,,,they got paid well to Play those parts,!! Even Step-and Fetch it,,,was a millionaire when he died,!!
I LOVE ALL THESE B & W DETECTIVE MOVIES, FROM CHARLIE CHAN, MR MOTO, MR WONG, SHERLOCK HOLMES, WITH BASIL RATHBONE, THE CRIME DR, THE LONE WOLF, BOSTON BLACKIE. EVERYONE OF THEM ARE CLASSIC WORKS OF ART, AND ARE WORTH THEIR WEIGHT IN GOLD, THE STORIES, HOW THEY'RE TOLD AND PUT TOGETHER, AS THE GENIUS SOLD GOLD WORKS OF ART THEY ARE AND BRING ME BACK TO MY CHILDHOOD, WHEN WATCHING THEM FOR THE FIRST TIME WITH MY DAD AND MOM, THANKS FOR POSTING, THEY'RE ALL, PRICELESS
That's correct, the French and British had "taken over" Egypt from the natives at that time and robbed them of their antiquities until the Egyptian govt stepped in and took over the Cairo Museum.
@T A Ah, you must have forgotten all about the Romans and the burning of the Great Library of Alexandria. The Arabs at that time were mostly Bedouin tribes that followed the trading routes. Ramses fought the Hittites and won. Fact. Peace.
In defense of the foreigners taken over... The British said "If you won't take care of your artifacts WE will. !!! It was also a French army officer that found the Rosetta Stone that made possible the translation of the Hieroglyghics which was unknown for centuries !
I guess that s how the neues museum in Berlin acquired all their exhibits. There s nobody who likes giving the germs stolen artifacts like their good buddies the French and the british
55:00……that’s Rita Hayworth, credited as Rita Cansino. That’s before Hollywood changed her hairline and hair color to give her a more “American” look. Her parents ancestry was from Spain.
This must have been released very early in 1935. Despite the updated 20th Century-Fox logo, you'll notice the copyright was by "Fox Film Corporation." Fox Fmilm and 20th Century Pictures merged to become 20th Century-Fox in May, 1935.
@Songs Mirth It needs weight, as well the end grain is the hard hitting surface, the chisels for this are like a large nail, with a wide striking surface, as well, wooden mallets come in about 4 sizes, although nylon has replaced most of them....if you ever use one, remember to but leather between the top of your fist and the under surfase of the mallet, (blisters) traditionaly, mallets are held high, and you hold the base of the handle....heres some video of timless methods.th-cam.com/video/HtNLEYQnFRs/w-d-xo.html enjoy
Poor Stepping Fetchit. He was a good actor and he had to play this kind of part, but he did help to break the barrier. In later Chan movies, his character was normal. He must’ve worked hard for that. As a kid, I watched these movies, which I liked a lot then, too. I thought he was a good at his parts, but didn’t understand why he was so dumb? My dad (an actor) told me later that it was a stereotype of the time. (He was a millionaire at one point, but lost most of it - I don’t remember how. So he did get good money for his work. I’m sure your spirit is free now, Fetch :) 🎬🎭🌷🌱 18:00 n.b. Have you noticed he was the only one who portrayed how really heavy that sarcophagus was - and he was center stage!! He didn’t do the wide-eyed scared bit either! And you can tell there’s an active mind behind his lines, too. I liked him when I was a kid. Now, I can appreciate his acting prowess more intellectually.
Warner Oland Played Charlie Chan in 16 films from 1931 until his death in 1938. Sidney Toler Played Charlie Chan in 22 films from 1938 to 1947, including Charlie Chan in Honolulu (1938) and The Trap (1946). Roland Winters Played Charlie Chan in six films from 1948 to 1949, including The Chinese Ring (1947), Docks of New Orleans (1948), and Shanghai Ch
To anyone who thinks this is racist & does a disservice to black people, I say "Read your history!" Lincoln Theodore Monroe Andrew Perry, aka Stepin Fetchit, parlayed the Fetchit persona into a successful film career, becoming the first black actor to earn a million dollars. He was also the first black actor to receive featured screen credit in a film. He became friends with Muhammad Ali and Fetchit has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in the category "Motion pictures". In 1976, despite popular aversion to his character, the Hollywood chapter of the NAACP awarded Perry a Special NAACP Image Award. Two years after that, he was inducted into the Black Filmmakers Hall of Fame. Was life always fair? No. If you expect it to be, prepare yourself for multiple disappointments. It's only fair I warn you.
the character isn't even an insult. one, he has money, one example is that the natives wants to do business with him. two, he has native woman for a girlfriend that loves him. three, he works internationally, and his cost of living is paid by his employer. four, he's in a less stressful working environment. five, he's the most trusted character. six, he has a lot of free time. seven, he's not even a criminal nor suspected individual in the eyes of everyone. eight, he has no enemies. Nine, no one discriminate him.
Sir you are a bigot and a large part of the problem. Every word in that diatribe was an assault to all who love freedom. If you watch that movie and dont see the problem with it then ill betcha youll find a white robe in TV he back of your closet. The Step and fetchit routine is as much a slap in the face as blackface! A million dollars...big deal...at the same time thousands of black men and woman were being lynched. I teach high school history, so i tell you read about life for a black in the Jim Crow south. Dont spiel off about how good this was for black people.....they have a picture book of the worst of the lynchings...maybe you ought to take a friggin peak at that!
Being born in 1936, this film is one year older than me. Sorry that Mantan Moreland is yet to make his appearance. He did add greatly to the enjoyment. Regards to all fellow Chan movie lovers. England, December, 2023.
Another charming Charlie Chan movie w/Mr. Orland. If only Keye Luke were available for this one. Say pop, isn't Snowshoes portrayed by the same actor (Fetchit?) who plays the horse handler in CC at the Racetrack? CC's Secret also features a cowardly servant, in that case the Caucasian butler, the same actor who appears briefly as a waiter in another Orland CC flick. Orland's my favorite CC followed by Toler. The others don't even come close, especially the final CC. I hate how they changed the character to a SF detective.
Step and fetch was played by the actor Lincoln Theodore Monroe Andrew Perry. John H Allen play the part of streamline Jones in the movie Charlie Chan at the RaceTrac.
Good movie Egypt is a country of mystery with its tombs and legends thiswaa written as famous tomb of King Tut was found the world was watching in wonder at the contents of wealth buried in their tombs and advanced civization
All these movies remind me of when I was 17 getting home from work at 6 pm to watch Basil rathbone as Sherlock Holmes then Charlie chan 😍
You must have been born in the 1940s.
I was born in 65 and I learned to love these movies and Basil Rathbone, Tarzan, and Bogie and Bacall and so many others because up until the about late 80s early 90s we had 2 independent stations in St. Louis, and every Saturday and Sunday they showed these movies and so many more.

chicagotribune.com November 14 1989 by Carol Kleiman from Book- If This is Happiness: A Biography of Rita Hayworth by Barbara Leaming -
The real horror of her life happened in her childhood, when Leaming alleges, Hayworth was abused physically and sexually by her father. Leaming asserts that Hayworth confided that secret to Orson Wells. -IMO- IF; this is true , she was highly sexualized by her father starting at about or before age 12, when
her mother left the family and Rita traveled the vaudeville circuit and nightclubs with her father. -- There is no money 💰 in the world that could buy back “ her innocence and childhood. Rita Hayworth quote- azquotes.com “ All I wanted was just what everybody else wants, you know, to be loved,” . “ “ Dancing in Tijuana when I was 13- that was my ‘summer camp’. How else do you think I could keep up with Fred Astaire when I was 19?
The shoot started on 1st April, 1935 and wrapped on 21st April, 1935. It was released in the States on 21st June, 1935. Rita was born on October 17th, 1918. So she was actually 16 in 1935. She wouldn't turn 17 till October 17th, 1935.
@@thecaleegochannel7154 Thanks for that update. My Mother was born on October 17, 1917, so she was exactly one year older than Rita.
I m surprised Charlie Chaplin didn't marry her in 1934
People might not recognize the Rita Cansino.... who later took her
mother's maiden name and became Rita Hayworth. Pat Paterson was for 44
years the wife of Charles Boyer. Thomas Beck played supporting
opposite many famous stars. And everyone who might watch this remembers
Stepin Fetchit. He was considered the first Black successful actor in
Hollywood. When he died he was worth about the same as Rita Hayworth
was. Not bad.
when pat Paterson died boyer racked with grief killed himself.he loved her that much.

Why would anyone care about a mindless puppet? Not just her. All of them.
Except for the fact that he was made to look like a simpleton. He was actually a very articulate man. It’s a shame that this is the only role he could play. Uncomfortable to watch.
@@wildwalker44 c'mon man. Identity politics is every bit as stereotypical. Everyone in the movie was stereotyped including the brilliant Chan. Steppin made good money and no thinking person would deride him for playing that role.
Have been to Egypt and traveled down the Nile from Cairo to the new dam. The ruins, pyramids and other ancient structures were magnificent. Although the Nile was disappointingly full of trash. The new dam was a wonder and the guide was extremely proud of it, understandably.
Warner Oland is my favorite Charlie Chan. 😁😁😁
I Like them both.
I've always seen Sidney Toller and I like him. I'm just now getting into you know, Warner Orland one thing I do know. He started off to Charley chance series. Because Charlie Chan started in the 30s city. Toller didn't come in until actually at wartime in the 1940s. So how many years has this series been going on? And when did number 1 number 2 number 3 and the daughter? Those are the only ones I've seen as Charlie chance kids has any other people been there and last but not least, when did the black guy come and I keep forgetting his name? You know you'd be the show for an all that inside. Kick for the number 1 number 2 in number 3 sons.
I loved these as a kid! And many, many years later, I still love them!
TY for sharing these
Fox Film Corporation merged with Twentieth Century Pictures in the Spring of 1935. The film was shot in April. So it has the copyright of Fox Film Corporation. That means it was probably made just a few weeks before the merger. Winfield Sheehan was Rita's mentor at Fox and the one who discovered her dancing with her father at Aqua Caliente in Tijuana. He was eased out by Daryl Zanuck, the new boss. Then Zanuck began getting rid of starlets like Rita who had been promoted for success by Sheehan. So she had to start all over again, looking for any work she could find and hoping to get a contract with another studio.
AGUA caliente
Of all the Chan entries,I think this one comes closest to a Universal style horror film,for obvious reasons, Mummy. Some creepy moments and atmosphere.
That's just what I thought as well!
I agree guality was fresh minds and curious and comical too nonalcoholic now who knows their drug of choice
King Tut tomb was opened in 1922,
This movie was made in 1935.
Boris Karloff played " The Mummy" in 1932. So much for Egypt.
It is interesting that as this film was being made the contents of King Tut's in-tact tomb was still being processed and preserved at the Cairo museum.
Just wait until they dig ME up. That'll be a hoot.
Didn't know that. Very interesting and thanks for sharing.
A very good mystery movie.
BTW, as we sailed down the Nile, I saw cattle and other animals near the water and asked about the fact that Americans were under the impression that the Nile was full of crocodiles. I was informed by our guides that the Nile no longer had them in the river and they were now on the other side of the dam so the farm animals were now not in danger of being eaten. One of the other sights we were privileged to see was a replica of the river boat that was used in the movie "Death on the Nile".
They really don't need that music track along with the story. Sounds like the organ music they used to play with silent movies.
I kept waiting for Chan and the cop to knock heads together.
That's why they rehearse.
Loved it, thank you.
I 💕 Charlie Chan 🎥
What fun.... Thank you so much!
News Note:
Rita Cansino later changed her Name to Rita Hayworth and as a Result Became a Big Time Major Movie Star .👍👍👏👏
I love these old Charlie Chan movies. Love Basil Rathbone as Sherlock Holmes and Peter Lorre as Mr Moto too.
I always thought Charlie Chan was Chinese in real life. I just researched, to find he was not. Some really good acting in this movie.
Charlie Chan was loosely based on an Hawaiian detective named Chang Apana.
Ah! So!
Actor was Swedish
Actor was swedish, from the north of Sweden, and perhaps with some Finland blood in his line. That made his face a bit mongolian.
@@Bersztipflag Oland claimed he had some mongolian ancestry, thogh that was never supported; likely some Hollywood gimmick. Without the "chinese" moustache and make up Oland looks totally caucasian IMAO. He achieved a very good impersonation.
This is my favorite Charlie Chan movie ❤
Great old Charlie
Chan movie,!!
As far as stereotypes
go,,,they got paid
well to Play those
parts,!!
Even Step-and Fetch
it,,,was a millionaire
when he died,!!
Yes, he made millions by perpetuating a racist stereotype and demeaning his own people. Truly admirable.
@@graemesmith6721 the more demeaning, da meaner you get, don'tcha?
@@robertwalker5521 More vague, smug gibberish. How about actually saying what you mean clearly and distinctly? Or is that too much to ask?
Fetchit declared bankruptcy in 1947, stating assets of $146. So it seems there is some justice in the world after all.
At 3:30 when they turned on the lights, and looked into the hole, I was expecting the 3 Stooges.
I just discovered Mr. Chan. Now I'm binge watching . 😊
I LOVE ALL THESE B & W DETECTIVE MOVIES, FROM CHARLIE CHAN, MR MOTO, MR WONG, SHERLOCK HOLMES, WITH BASIL RATHBONE, THE CRIME DR, THE LONE WOLF, BOSTON BLACKIE. EVERYONE OF THEM ARE CLASSIC WORKS OF ART, AND ARE WORTH THEIR WEIGHT IN GOLD, THE STORIES, HOW THEY'RE TOLD AND PUT TOGETHER, AS THE GENIUS SOLD GOLD WORKS OF ART THEY ARE AND BRING ME BACK TO MY CHILDHOOD, WHEN WATCHING THEM FOR THE FIRST TIME WITH MY DAD AND MOM, THANKS FOR POSTING, THEY'RE ALL, PRICELESS
Good heavens, that was Rita Hayworth!
My favorite of ALL times!! CHARLIE CHAN!! 💕
That's correct, the French and British had "taken over" Egypt from the natives at that time and robbed them of their antiquities until the Egyptian govt stepped in and took over the Cairo Museum.
... Plus notable curse of Zahi "Lightfingers" Hawass!
@T A Ah, you must have forgotten all about the Romans and the burning of the Great Library of Alexandria. The Arabs at that time were mostly Bedouin tribes that followed the trading routes. Ramses fought the Hittites and won. Fact. Peace.
In defense of the foreigners taken over... The British said "If you won't take care of your artifacts WE will. !!! It was also a French army officer that found the Rosetta Stone that made possible the translation of the Hieroglyghics which was unknown for centuries !
@@lovetoedit oo
I guess that s how the neues museum in Berlin acquired all their exhibits. There s nobody who likes giving the germs stolen artifacts like their good buddies the French and the british
As an egyptian I never knew a Tom and Jerry Actor played a role in a movie about or based on Egypt WAY BEFORE TOM AND JERRY WAS MADE
Retirement from work, a wine cellar, a kitchen, an armchair and old movies. Every hour I worked hard has paid off.
CLASSIC FILMS!
"Sitting Disease" is now the leading cause of early death to USA Americans
Sounds like heaven , enjoy jackie
My hero from the time of my childhood .
Of all the Charlie Chan films I believe this one is my all time favorite
C. Chan at the wax museum is my favorite.
You are correct

Love Charlie Chan🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Charlie Chan is such a lovely chap
Thanks for the history! I wouldn't have known or noticed 😊
excellent. thanks
too bad the quality of this video is so poor.
5:30; so THAT'S where pharrell stole the look.
I have been watching Charlie Chan movies for 2days. It is so hard to find a decent movie to watch on tv.
55:00……that’s Rita Hayworth, credited as Rita Cansino. That’s before Hollywood changed her hairline and hair color to give her a more “American” look. Her parents ancestry was from Spain.
This must have been released very early in 1935. Despite the updated 20th Century-Fox logo, you'll notice the copyright was by "Fox Film Corporation." Fox Fmilm and 20th Century Pictures merged to become 20th Century-Fox in May, 1935.
Good stuff Maynard!
that lovley old beechwood masons mallet is more valuble than any of those cheezy props.
@Songs Mirth It needs weight, as well the end grain is the hard hitting surface, the chisels for this are like a large nail, with a wide striking surface, as well, wooden mallets come in about 4 sizes, although nylon has replaced most of them....if you ever use one, remember to but leather between the top of your fist and the under surfase of the mallet, (blisters) traditionaly, mallets are held high, and you hold the base of the handle....heres some video of timless methods.th-cam.com/video/HtNLEYQnFRs/w-d-xo.html enjoy
Poor Stepping Fetchit. He was a good actor and he had to play this kind of part, but he did help to break the barrier. In later Chan movies, his character was normal. He must’ve worked hard for that. As a kid, I watched these movies, which I liked a lot then, too. I thought he was a good at his parts, but didn’t understand why he was so dumb? My dad (an actor) told me later that it was a stereotype of the time. (He was a millionaire at one point, but lost most of it - I don’t remember how. So he did get good money for his work. I’m sure your spirit is free now, Fetch :) 🎬🎭🌷🌱
18:00 n.b. Have you noticed he was the only one who portrayed how really heavy that sarcophagus was - and he was center stage!! He didn’t do the wide-eyed scared bit either! And you can tell there’s an active mind behind his lines, too. I liked him when I was a kid. Now, I can appreciate his acting prowess more intellectually.
Another great episode
thank you
Reading the comments, I'm glad to see that at least one person noticed that "Rita Cansino" was (eventually) Rita Hayworth.
The actor with the cane sure looks like Dick York !
Wonderful.

Thank you so much.
Love the suspense.
Margarita Cansino , known as Rita Hayworth is in this . One of her earliest appearances .
Imagine if they did Charlie chan and sherlock Holmes in movie together
A movie that's damn near 90, incredibly in tune with social climate then and now.
To anyone who thinks this is racist & does a disservice to black people, I say "Read your history!" Lincoln Theodore Monroe Andrew Perry, aka Stepin Fetchit, parlayed the Fetchit persona into a successful film career, becoming the first black actor to earn a million dollars. He was also the first black actor to receive featured screen credit in a film. He became friends with Muhammad Ali and Fetchit has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in the category "Motion pictures".
In 1976, despite popular aversion to his character, the Hollywood chapter of the NAACP awarded Perry a Special NAACP Image Award. Two years after that, he was inducted into the Black Filmmakers Hall of Fame.
Was life always fair? No. If you expect it to be, prepare yourself for multiple disappointments. It's only fair I warn you.
The word "racist" actually means You hate everyone including Yourself. It's a word pure evil "tricked people" into saying.
the character isn't even an insult. one, he has money, one example is that the natives wants to do business with him. two, he has native woman for a girlfriend that loves him. three, he works internationally, and his cost of living is paid by his employer. four, he's in a less stressful working environment. five, he's the most trusted character. six, he has a lot of free time. seven, he's not even a criminal nor suspected individual in the eyes of everyone. eight, he has no enemies. Nine, no one discriminate him.
Murdoch Crabtree when... Did. you "describe" HOW to.. think
Murdoch Crabtree. What a wonderful and educational comment
Sir you are a bigot and a large part of the problem. Every word in that diatribe was an assault to all who love freedom. If you watch that movie and dont see the problem with it then ill betcha youll find a white robe in TV he back of your closet. The Step and fetchit routine is as much a slap in the face as blackface! A million dollars...big deal...at the same time thousands of black men and woman were being lynched. I teach high school history, so i tell you read about life for a black in the Jim Crow south. Dont spiel off about how good this was for black people.....they have a picture book of the worst of the lynchings...maybe you ought to take a friggin peak at that!
Being born in 1936, this film is one year older than me. Sorry that Mantan Moreland is yet to make his appearance. He did add greatly to the enjoyment. Regards to all fellow Chan movie lovers. England, December, 2023.
Wow a movie that doesn't need to kill hundreds to make a decent flick
Ooh...Rita Hayworth before they changed her name!
Rita casino before she took her mother's name last name.
I have every Charlie Chan CD movie and have watched them all.my two favorites are this one and At the Race Track. Im definitely a Chan Phan!
Charlie Chan has been everywhere except Italy 🇮🇹
You ve never seen. Charlie Chan in Sicily. Where he got killed. Two of his sons too. And an innocent waiter
And India lol
Another charming Charlie Chan movie w/Mr. Orland. If only Keye Luke were available for this one. Say pop, isn't Snowshoes portrayed by the same actor (Fetchit?) who plays the horse handler in CC at the Racetrack? CC's Secret also features a cowardly servant, in that case the Caucasian butler, the same actor who appears briefly as a waiter in another Orland CC flick. Orland's my favorite CC followed by Toler. The others don't even come close, especially the final CC. I hate how they changed the character to a SF detective.
His name was Warner oland
The black actor in CC at the Racetrack was Willie Best. Read the credits.
Warner Oland played CC for 16 movies until his death. Sidney Toler played CC for 22 movies until his death and Roland Winters played CC in 6 movies.
Step and fetch was played by the actor Lincoln Theodore Monroe Andrew Perry. John H Allen play the part of streamline Jones in the movie Charlie Chan at the RaceTrac.
Warner Oland played him best
Respectfully disagree. Oland was excellent but like Sydney Toler best.
@@MichaelGunner123 I agree with you stake and kidney (Sydney) was better
I am jumping on the Sidney Toller ban wagon. He was the best charlie chan in my exclamation
